What Would Be the Best Way to Get Career Advice Right Now?

The best way is to talk to people who are already doing the kind of work you are interested in. Ask them about their daily work, how they got started, and what skills really matter. A short informational interview can give you more useful advice than guessing on your own.

You can start with a coworker, friend, former classmate, or someone you find on LinkedIn. You do not need to ask them to be your mentor right away. Just ask for a short conversation and come prepared with a few simple questions.
